Chapter Twelve First Encounter

  "That guy, Qi Ge, was like this, I originally saved a spot for you, but these two..." Another voice trembled with fear in response. "Oh, so you took my spot to curry favor with others, huh?" The tone turned icy cold.

  I turned my head, and with a loud crash, my brain went blank. It was him, the one who had appeared countless times in my girlish dreams, the one I had secretly liked back then. His handsome eyebrows, thick eyelashes, peach-blossom-like eyes, thin red lips - this was a demon, and even though I'd seen many beautiful men in movies, I was still shocked. A boy could be so stunningly beautiful, so charming. His beauty was different from Xiao Yang's, Xiao Yang was the healthy and sunny type; also different from Mo, Mo was elegant and carefree; of course, it was even more different from my husband, because my husband was... Ah, what was I thinking? Why was I comparing them? Stop, stop, Yin Ruoyun, you and he are destined to have no chance. You have a more important task to complete. I shook my head, and Cui Hua hurried over, saying anxiously, "Are they talking about us? Is this seat taken by someone else?" I patted her shoulder, whispering, "What's there to be afraid of? The seats don't have names on them, we don't care about him."

  That Lu Quan walked up with a bitter face, pitifully saying to me: "Sister..." "Who are you calling sister? There's no one here who is your sister!" I interrupted him unhappily. Lu Quan's forehead broke out in cold sweat: "Not that, miss..." "You're the miss. Disgusting, if you can't speak properly then shut up!" "Ahh! My lady, please be kind and let me finish speaking, okay?" Lu Quan was so anxious he wanted to jump his feet off the ground.

  I found him so ridiculous that I couldn't help but burst out laughing. One hand pointed at him and said, "Hey, good grandson, look at you, give you a chance, speak quickly, fart quickly." While speaking, he secretly glanced at Lu Qi standing behind him, unexpectedly meeting his gaze head-on, his tempting peach blossom eyes staring at me with great interest. My face suddenly flushed, oh no, it's too embarrassing, how could I be like this in front of him?

  "It's like this, I originally helped Qi Ge occupy this window seat, and I just went to the bathroom. When I came back, you had taken the seat." Lu Quan finally finished speaking, looking relieved. I couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, is that so?" Then I ignored him. This time, he got anxious again: "Did I make myself clear?" "Yes, you were very clear. I heard it too, anything else?" I said seriously. Lu Quan scratched his ears and cheeks: "Then you...you..."

  "That's enough, I'll sit in the back." Lu Qi spoke up and a hint of a smile flashed across Peach Blossom's eyes. She immediately sat down in the seat behind me. I clapped my hands lightly: "Alright, problem solved. Well-behaved grandson, you can leave now." Lu Quan scratched his head in confusion and also sat down in the back.

  I turned back and continued reading. During the tongue-lashing between me and Luquan, Qiaoyu had been sitting stiffly, but now she finally relaxed a bit. She whispered in my ear, "Hao Yun'er, you're really something! I was almost scared to death." I smiled mischievously at her, "Hey, no big deal, with me around, you don't have to be afraid anymore!" "Hehe, your words are so funny, just like the Hong Kong people on TV," Qiaoyu finally perked up. "Yun'er, did you see? That person is sitting behind us!" "That person? Who?" I asked curiously. "The one from just now." Qiaoyu's face turned a bit red. A thought flashed in my mind: "Oh, you mean him - Luquan? Do you know him?" "Not him, the other one," Qiaoyu shook her head vigorously. "Lu Qi? Do you like him?" I felt a mix of emotions inside. Qiaoyu quickly covered my mouth: "Don't say it, nothing's going on."

  Looking at Qiao Wei's shy and lovely appearance, I'm sure she must have fallen for him. No wonder, who wouldn't like such a charming guy? Qiao Wei is now just like me back then. But this Lu Qi is a playboy, and he's not suitable for Qiao Wei. Besides, I know that Qiao Wei's future husband is definitely not him. This won't do, I have to remind her not to fall in too deep.

  "Hey, we're still young, right?" I cleared my throat and said softly, "Our task is to study hard and get into a good school. Right?" Qiao Hui blinked her eyes and said, "I know, but my grades are bad, and this semester I have to add chemistry, it's driving me crazy." I chuckled lightly: "Don't worry, I'm here for you? As long as you listen to me, I guarantee you'll get in." "I understand what you mean, you're afraid I'll be distracted. Don't worry, I'll listen to you." She let out a soft sigh and said. I nodded enthusiastically.

  "Yin Qiaoyi, is that you?" A loud voice rang out beside my ear. I looked up to see Yu Xiangqian standing next to Qiaoyi with a big smile on his face, "I've been wanting to come over for a long time, but you guys have always been busy." He lowered his voice and said, "Heh, you two are really brave, daring to mess with the toughest person in class."

  "Who's the tyrant in our class?" "The two you just offended are," Yu Xiangqian said mysteriously. "That's what everyone says. The first one you offended is called Zhu Lang, and he's been acting like a bully because his father is the village branch secretary. You'd better be careful. He lost face today, so who knows if he'll take revenge." I raised an eyebrow: "Hmph, Zhu Lang? Isn't that Pigsty or something? He dares to..." I subtly nodded towards the back: "And what about the other one?"

  Yu Xiangqian raised his thumb: "Clever! No wonder Lao Da Hui likes you." "What are you talking nonsense?" I glared at him, unhappy. "Why would he be a ruthless person? He doesn't look ruthless at all." Yu Xiangqian leaned in closer and whispered, "He's learned martial arts, and when it comes to fighting, he's fierce! Nobody dares to provoke him." "Oh, I see," I nodded. "But I think he wouldn't bully girls casually, right?" "You're too naive," Luquan chimed in. "Qi Ge has never bullied girls. On the contrary, he's super nice to them." "Hey, what are you doing eavesdropping on our conversation?" I said unhappily. "I wasn't eavesdropping! We were sitting so close, and your voice isn't soft, of course, I could hear it!" Luquan hastily defended himself. I smiled brightly: "Oh, I almost forgot about you. Aren't you my well-behaved grandson? When Auntie speaks, just pretend you didn't hear it, got it?" Just one look at Luquan and you can tell he's an easy target to bully.

  Taking advantage of the moment, I couldn't help but glance at Lu Qi again. Oh, good thing he was reading a book and didn't look up. Wait, his book doesn't look like a textbook, it's actually the same as mine! Wow, a kindred spirit! But thinking about it again, he probably isn't someone who has traveled back in time, right? That wouldn't be possible, would it?
